White chocolate cigarellos for cakes

New 700g box - More cigarellos, enhanced neat finish and at an even better price!

Belgian high quality, white chocolate cigarellos (cigarillos) for the decoration of celebration cakes, desserts and ice cream. White chocolate cigarellos are particularly popular for decorating wedding cakes with their ivory, white finish. Each white chocolate cigarello is approximately 9.5cm length x 0.9cm diameter.

Our cigarellos are of unrivalled quality and presentation with consistent uniformity.

How many chocolate cigarellos will I need?

For placing the chocolate cigarellos vertically around the side of a cake you can either measure the circumference of the cake tin (One inch (2.5cm) equates 3 cigarellos approximately) or use the cake tin guide below (which uses a diameter measurement of the tin, not circumference). Allow for some extra chocolate cigarellos for approximation and possible breakages.

I used the chocolate cigarellos for my wedding cake today and found I had a few more than the 80 so hey I taste tested one for quality control of course. REALLY good chocolate. The only thing I did find with the cigarellos is that they are quite tall and so I found a way to cut them down a little without the chocolate cigarellos breaking which is a matter of getting a knack. So to others wanting to do this you must use a really sharp knife and ideally heated so it almost slides through. Do this on a towel so the cigarello doesn't break as you press down. Hope this helps. I have actually been asked to do another cake using the chocolate cigarellos for a christening so I shall be back to order more online.

Absolute perfection!

A good friend asked me to bake her sons wedding cake and not having used cigarello's before, I made the dreadful mistake of buying some from another site to trial.

The first ones I received from the other company arrived in a box that was too big for the contents, which meant that by the time I received them, a great proportion of them were either broken into pieces or had pieces broken off them.

These, on the other hand, were extremely well packaged AND tasted so much better than the other brand. I mow have all th ingredients and decorations for the cake and am itching to get going on it now.

Well done CTC. Top notch service AND products.

I ordered these for my daughters 13th Birthday cake. I was worried about breakages - however they arrived today with very slight crumbling from one or two. I am so impressed by the packaging and of course the quality of the product.

I needed the cigarillos to make my best friends wedding cake, I was a bit wary about ordering online as I thought the cigarillos would break in the post. I bought some from my local cake shop instead and was very disappointed.Most of them were broken and were better used as curls, and they were not all a uniform shape either. So I ordered these cigarillos and was extremely impressed. They are packaged so well that they are in prestine condition when they arrived and they also taste ten times better than the other cigarillos I bought. I would buy these cigarillos in future, they are awsome - I wish I had just bought them in the first place!! I highly recommend them, and the white chocolate curls.

This is the first time I have purchased from the Chocolate Trading Company and I have to say that I received truly excellent service. Delivery was very prompt and the cigarellos arrived well packaged and intact with no damages. The cigarellos themselves were beautifully made with a delicious chocolate that went down very well with everyone who ate the wedding cake that they decorated. I have just placed an order for some new products and look forward to receiving them - I have no doubt that they will be of the same high standard. Keep up the good work!!

White Chocolate Cigarellos I ordered (at the last minute!) for my Daughters 30th Birthday Cake that I had made - a delicious cake surrounded by these tall tasty chocolate cigarellos then the top filled with fresh Strawberries - both my Daughters favourite things! The order was dealt with more than efficiently and arrived in perfect condition, So the lovely Chocolate and the Expert Customer Service I would recommend to anybody as everyone at the party was so complimentary of the beautifully decorated cake!

I can't fault these in any way. They taste great and look fab! Good packaging keeps breakages to a minimum and they were well packed in the box of items I purchased. Excellent service in terms of delivery too, arrived quickly. I wont order cigarellos from anywhere else because these are the best out there!

My Cigarellos order arrived completely undamaged - even during the extreme heatwave - and not a single white chocolate cigarello was broken. Very impressed with Chocolate Trading Company's chocolate and service. Packaging was exceptional.

Last minute cake request not a problem thanks to Chocolate Trading Co. Placed my chocolate order online that afternoon. My white chocolate and dark chocolate cigarellos order was delivered expertly packaged the next day with no breakages. Very impressive when you consider how fragile these little chocolate straws can be. The finished cake looked superb edged with alternating white / dark chocolate cigarellos and drew many admiring comments. The fact they taste so superb is just a bonus!

I ordered a large box of white cigarellos recently and I was very pleased with the service. Ordering was simple, they arrived promptly and were very well packaged. Not a single cigarello was broken and they tasted great. Daughter loved using them as straws!! I would definitely use the Chocolate Trading Company again.

My order of white chocolate cigarellos was delivered promptly without any breakages, which give their fragile nature is amazing. The weather may mean our planned garden party is moved indoors, but the quality and taste of these chocolate cigarillos means at least my cake is assured of success.

White Chocolate Cigarellos from Chocolate Trading Co, super quality and a real premium chocolate taste. I wasn't sure of the quantity I needed to go around the sides of a 2-tier wedding cake so I phoned before ordering and received prompt and courteous help with all my enquiries. Went ahead and ordered there and then on the phone. Cigarellos arrived the next day in perfect condition, helped by the way they had been carefully packed.

Chocolate cigarellos do not require refridgeration.
